WEEKENDING IN OCTOBER

Live neither in the past nor
in the future, but let each
days work absorb your
entire energies, and satisfy
your wildest ambition.

~ William Osler







Time seems to have gotten away
from me and my poor blog has
been gathering a little dust. I love
my little space here and really 
need to do better at taking care 
of it. 

I have been spending my time 
outdoors as much as possible,
exploring, walking, dreaming and
over all just enjoying the cooler
temperatures, Karen, I can't help 
but think of you when my I look
in the mirror and I'm having a 
good hair day...hooray for the
lower humidity.

Knitting is always apart of my days,
I finished a lace cowl and have a few
other [secret] projects that are seeing
some love.

I've been canning...pickled sausages
to be exact. As most of you know I
am the only vegetarian in my home
so this was a project I struggled with,
but my guys are thrilled.

The best part of the weekend? Getting
to spend some time with my grandson,
Porter, such a sweet and happy little
baby. I am enjoying reading him the
same books I read to his daddy, and
just sitting and holding him. Time
goes by very fast!

  5. Porter's smile is darling. He is joy. Yay on finishing your lace cowl and pickled sausages? That is the first time I've heard of that. How neat.

  6. Time does go by fast! Porter is just the sweetest baby--what a beautiful smile. I have never heard of pickled sausages or seen acorns like the ones in the first photos (is that a live oak tree)? Your lace knitting is really lovely; that cowl is a beautiful pattern. 'Tis the season for secret knitting projects; I just love this time of year; the cool weather, gorgeous skies and long shadows (which you captured so well in your photo), shorter days and long evenings--perfect for making and baking and outdoor walks.

  13. It's so nice to see you, Tracey. I'm glad you're enjoying the weather and time outdoors. I've never seen canned pickled sausages, I will have to check those out. They sound like something my husband would enjoy. I hope you have a good week.

  14. Tracey, one of my most favorite things about being a grandma is reading the books I read to my son to his sweet babes. :) Pure bliss!
